Lower Back Pain

As people age, bone strength and muscle elasticity and tone tend to decrease. The lumbar discs begin to lose fluid and flexibility, which decreases their ability to cushion the vertebrae. If the spine becomes overly strained or compressed, a disc may
rupture or bulge outward. This rupture may put pressure on one of the more than 50 nerves rooted to the spinal cord that control body movements and transmit signals from the body to the brain. When these nerve roots become compressed or
irritated, lower back pain results.

What Could Be Causing My Lower Back Pain?

Common lower back conditions can present as numbness, tingling, or pain that radiates through either/both legs. Symptoms can vary greatly depending on conditions present and their severity.

Numbness and Tingling usually indicate a more serious condition than pain. If you experience these symptoms, it is important that you seek immediate correction since further damage can result in the need for serious spinal surgery.
